QuestionGaseous state / kinetic theory
The root mean square velocity of one mole of a monoatomic gas having molar mass M is u_rms. Which one of the following correctly represents the relation between the average kinetic energy of the gas (E) and u_rms ?
- (a) \(u_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{3E}{2M}}\)
- (b) \(u_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{2E}{M}}\)
- (c) \(u_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{E}{2M}}\)
- (d) \(u_{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{E}{3M}}\)
